Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta claims Davido’s wealth and influence surpass his billionaire father Adedeji Adeleke, emphasising age is just a number

Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has sparked debate by asserting that Nigerian singer Davido surpasses his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke, in both wealth and influence.

The actor made this bold claim while addressing young people about respecting authority figures, regardless of their age.

Chatta shared his perspective during a recent discussion, where he highlighted the importance of achievements over age. Drawing parallels with historical figures, he stated, “Alexander the Great started ruling at 20 and died at 33.

Despite his young age, his accomplishments were unmatched by many older leaders like Julius Caesar and Adolf Hitler.”

The actor argued that age is merely a number and that true respect should be based on accomplishments. He described Davido as an “elder” in his own right, citing the singer’s fame, fortune, and influence.

According to Chatta, the level of adoration Davido commands surpasses even that of his billionaire father.

“God purposely placed certain people in positions of authority, and it’s not about age. Any younger person possessing things typically associated with elders is an elder,” he explained.

The Nollywood star also reflected on his personal encounter with the singer. “I was amazed at the sheer number of people willing to do anything to get close to Davido. His presence commands a unique form of respect and loyalty.”

Chatta concluded by comparing the recognition Davido receives to that of his father. “If Davido’s father were to pass by, most people might not recognise him. But if Davido were to walk through, it could cause a stampede. His level of influence is extraordinary.”
